Boy Scouts Lift Ban on Gay Members.
It's kind of a dopey, ham-handed compromise, but it's also a huge step in the right direction, and because the compromise is so dopey and ham-handed, it probably won't survive very long.

The Spazz Age.
I had no interest in seeing Gatsby until I read this review.

Slog Bible Study: Luke 19:23-27.
I once saw a Republican (I think it was Rand Paul, but don't make me swear it) being interviewed, and he argued that Christianity was all about accumulation of wealth. He said, "Most of the parables are in favor of getting rich," and he cited the parable of the talents.
I guess he overlooked the parable of the widow's mite, or Jesus saying that it is harder for a rich man to get into Heaven than it is for a camel to pass through the needle's eye, or Jesus saying "Sell all you have and follow me."
